Typical. Hey CBS, you got the video commercial to work ok, but the audio is gone from the actual news story.

The BMW is one of the safest cars to drive, that is probably the
reason why the brand of car was mentioned IMO.

What is the relevance to mentioning the brand of car?

Maybe it's more accurate and descriptive than just saying "car", like Kentucky Fried Chicken as opposed to "fast food restaurant".
